Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

On October 6, the Indiana Wildlife Federation (IWF) visited the Indianapolis-based university’s campus in order to gauge the amount of progress being made on the project. The LSC program certification emphasizes the following five categories: sustainable lawn maintenance and landscaping, pesticide/herbicide use reduction, invasive species eradication, native plant species selection, and water conservation. We saw that Butler has been making huge strides in these areas above and beyond what was required in our program. Pervious Pavement This isn’t a trick of the light!

A typical day for a legislator during session consists of meetings with constituents, session and committee hearings. Each legislator is assigned to a committee, or multiple committees, to study proposed legislation. During the committee meetings, they hear public testimony from citizens, experts and members of government agen- cies. Session can be very time-consuming. There Legislators cast their votes during are days when legislators are in session for more session in the House Chamber. than 12 hours, listening to debates on bills and casting their votes. Many school groups come to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to learn about Indiana history, and representatives often meet with students to help them learn about the General Assembly. Also, just because session doesn’t last 365 days a year, doesn’t mean they stop working for you. As a matter-of-fact, when legislators are back home, they spend a lot of time attending meetings and community events. In order to best represent their communities, it is important that legislators meet with constituents constantly to learn what is most important to them.
